Wow, I recently got the $250 Iowa card bonus plus a $75 My Access Checking bonus. Can I do three for three? I hear lots of FW'ers to very well with BOA. So another inquiry for $100 bucks...

On the link, it says "Receive a $100 Statement Credit after qualifying transaction(s)§§," and then I don't see §§ again. Where does it say $100 statement credit w/ first $25 purchase?

Instant approval here, and for my highest CL to date (by a few thousand, but not that it matters cause I won't be using it much). Green for you

I hate when stuff like this happens:

The form apparently has a problem, and whenever I try to submit it (in either IE or Firefox) it errors saying I didn't enter a monthly housing payment.

"Chat help" with a BOA rep was able to get me to another application that worked. If anyone else has this issue, the promo code for this offer is FAB49I.

same issue here. Attempted with latest version of IE and Firefox.

EDIT: Some how I received a popup window asking if I wanted the app to be emailed to me. I checked my email and clicked on the link provided, re-entered all my info and I was able to submit successfully without any errors.

lol, am I the only one who was NOT instantly approved!?!? I already have a credit card with BofA (visa sig), with 60k credit limit... Credit score is around 800... Seems I should have been instantly approved as well, I feel left out here

It probably doesn't help that I already have abt $30k credit w/ BoA....they actually called me once to ask if I want to re-allocate.

So, what's the best way to go about this promotion? Charge $25 to the card, and then receive the remaining $75 credit as a check mailed to you? Or just spend $100?

Also, any reason to keep this card after you are finished with the promotion if you already have a BofA card? (I will almost certainly close mine because of the $1k limit)

Applied the day of the original post. Got the card in the mail yesterday (12/31).

Credit limit was about 1/2 of what I normally get on VISA or Mastercard. Oh well, I am not complaining since it is an easy $100
